‘Unmoored men’ and ‘princesses’ in castles

Journalist Jon Ronson visits a castle in Connecticut in this strange journey into the world of modern masculinity. Ronson’s reportage on modern masculinity is catalyzed by a series of unsettling texts from his son’s visit to the castle of a steel heir named Chris Mark, who is collecting “princesses” — women he finds on dating apps — in his home. Ronson charts the interconnectedness of AI, social media, exploitation, and the “male loneliness epidemic” in what The Guardian called “ a provocative and disturbing look at unmoored men in distress.” Buy The Castle from your local bookstore.
